What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for high blood pressure include aldosterone receptor antagonists (ARAs) like spironolactone and eplerenone, which can cause hyperkalemia, gynecomastia, and potential feminization of male fetuses. ACE inhibitors and ARBs may lead to hyperkalemia, cough, and angioedema. Calcium channel blockers can cause peripheral edema and constipation. Thiazide diuretics are associated with electrolyte imbalances like hyponatremia and hypokalemia, as well as hyperuricemia. Beta blockers may result in fatigue, bradycardia, and sexual dysfunction. These side effects should be carefully considered when selecting a treatment plan.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

FDA-approved treatments for high blood pressure that are similar to CIN-107 include eplerenone, a selective aldosterone blocker, and LCI699, an aldosterone synthase inhibitor. Eplerenone has been shown to be effective in treating mild-to-moderate hypertension by specifically targeting aldosterone receptors. LCI699, although still under investigation, has demonstrated efficacy in lowering blood pressure by inhibiting aldosterone synthesis. These treatments highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting aldosterone pathways in managing hypertension.

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives to CIN-107 for high blood pressure treatment in 2024 include: 1) LCI699, another aldosterone synthase inhibitor shown to be effective in clinical trials. 2) Novel mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists with fewer side effects. 3) Aminopeptidase A inhibitors, which have central effects on vasopressin. 4) Combined endothelin A and B receptor blockers. 5) Sacubitril/valsartan, which may be reconsidered for hypertension treatment.

Study Summary

This trial will test if CIN-107 is effective and safe for treating high blood pressure in patients who have uncontrolled hypertension and Chronic Kidney Disease.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with uncontrolled high blood pressure and mild-to-severe chronic kidney disease who are already taking the maximum tolerated dose of ACEi or ARB medications. People with type 1 diabetes, recent major heart issues, certain unstable conditions, extreme lab values, a BMI over 50, severe renal artery stenosis, known allergies to CIN-107 or similar drugs, recent immunotherapy for CKD, positive HIV/hepatitis tests or excessive alcohol intake cannot participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing the effectiveness and safety of a medication called CIN-107 in treating high blood pressure among patients with chronic kidney disease. Participants will either receive CIN-107 or a placebo (a substance with no therapeutic effect) to compare outcomes between the two groups.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects of CIN-107 are not listed here, common side effects from hypertension medications may include dizziness due to lowered blood pressure, headaches, fatigue and potential electrolyte imbalances which could affect organ function.

Other Research

Common treatments for high blood pressure include ACE inhibitors, ARBs, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, and aldosterone synthase inhibitors. ACE inhibitors and ARBs work by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which reduces blood vessel constriction and decreases blood pressure. Calcium channel blockers relax blood vessels by preventing calcium from entering cells of the heart and blood vessel walls. Diuretics help the kidneys remove excess sodium and water, reducing blood volume and pressure. Aldosterone synthase inhibitors, like CIN-107, specifically target the production of aldosterone, a hormone that increases sodium retention and blood pressure. These mechanisms are crucial for managing high blood pressure as they address different pathways that contribute to elevated blood pressure, providing comprehensive control and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.
